Old English Words Appear In New
Guise Here.
Loral Rustle Dialects Are Composed Al.
most Entirely of Older Forma of
Words Now Obsolete Some
Queer Phrases.
The English of book-reading1 Ameri
cans differs from that of educated Eng
lish people, Writes Edward Etfgleston
in Century, only in those superficial
traits that are the unavoidable result of
a different environment and the fluctua
tions of fashion. But along; the shore
of a stream the current moves more
slowly, and suffers eddies and backsets.
Much old English of the days of Crom
well, some that goes back farther even
than to "Queen Marie's daies," will be
found in the dialect speech of rustic
neighborhoods in America. There are
facts in the history of English words
that will never be known until some of
the younger American philologists go
afield in search of the living forms that
grow in the soil about them, and that
are not less instructive than the dia
lectsof England assiduously gathered
by a multitude of observers, or the
patois of the French country to which
Littre was not above paying his re
spects. Disavowing any pretension to be
a philological expert, I propose to write
here as an observer of American folk
speech. On that portion of the history
of the English language which has to
do with its conditions and changes in
this country, and on that alone, I may
claim to speak with some authority, if
the life-long habit of studying the
people's speech, exceptional opportuni
ties for observing it in many widely
separated districts, and an extensive
acquaintance with writings of all sorts,
printed and manuscript, of the colonial
period, call give authority.
English travelers very early mention
the differences between colonial speech
and that of the mother country. This
arose partly from the great number of
new objects and processes that must
have names and partly from English
provincial words adopted into general
speech in America. For example,
"swamp," with a far-reaching Scandi
navian ancestry, and no doubt a long
provincial use in England, had to be
explained to English readers, though
its use appears to have been general in
the American colonies. P.y 1070 it had
passed into a verb in common use in
Massachusetts; thus Ninigret, the In
dian chief, is said to have ' swamped
himself" when he had hidden in a
wooded morass. In 1730 "swamp"
formed part of a compound word;
"swamp-law," in Maine stood for cer
tain extra-judicial methods of attain
ing justice known to all rude and pio
neer lands. The word "Mvuinp," like
oiuny other provincials of the tune,
bett3J its forti nes by immigration,
and was received into good English so
ciety when it went back.
There are indigenous words in our
folk-speech, but our local rustic dia
lects are composed almost entirely of
words m tlieir older tortus or older
senses, of English words now quite ob
solete, and of words from provincial
English dialects. When first I hoard
farmers in the Lake Oeorge region call
a "cowslip" a "eowslop," I smiled to
think how modern the corruption was,
and how eusy to imagine that the
name had something to do with the
feeding of a cow. lint rash guesses in
etymology are ever unsafe; "cusloppe"
is given as a form of the Anfclo-Suxon
.viir.l nine eenturies ujjo. l.ie etymol
ogists miss the history of this word,
and of the word "slop," by not know
ing that, both us noun and verb, "slop''
refers to any liquid or semi-liquid food
for cattle, und this over bo wide a re
gion of America as to make its an
tiquity certain.
Take unot her expression thut seems
strictly American. "She is in a perfect
gale," one says of a little girl or a
young woman in a state of effervescent
mirth. It is easy and natural to sup
pose this to be modern, and to derive it
from a seafarer's figure of speech. Hut
the Dunes who settled in Englund
spoke a tongue very much like the
Icelandic, anil there is in this speech
the word "gall" with a long vowel
meaning a "lit of guyety," so that
Anglo-Jluuish ladies in the court
of Knut probably "got into u
perfect gulu" as our American wom
en and girls do now. In New
England they have the verb to "train''
(or lo romp. For this I can find no re
mote Biicestry; it may have come from
the New Englund "trainin'," with its
rum, cider and ginger bread, but I do
not Cilnk it wi recent as thut.
i have given enough examples to
feliow thut the most ancient and least
mutable part of a lungiiugu is the
residuum the folk-speech. Fashions
muy change, but the country man i;-
slow to give up the ways and words ol
his forcluthcrs. If the world'achange
knock tin; sense out of a word, he will
put unollier ineaniiig into it with ut
little ultcration as possible. Some ol
the provincial English (icoplc any "lull
lowday" for holiday or holy day. Hut
New Englund hullow. d no holiday,
and kept holv no holy days hut the
Suhbutii. So from holiday, or the broad
sound of hallow-day, koiiih of our
northern farmers get "hollow-day"
that is, a day w ith no work in it. They
attach quite am-thcr m-iim- to ' hollow"
whi n they note the condition of the
atmosphere in whiih sound Is easily
carried. "The air la ao hollow that I
can hear a train ten miles off," one will
wy.

coasting, which is always dangerous,
but seldom as funny as in the present
case.
A gentleman was riding his kjoclke
down from Ilolmcnkollen, and before
him on the road he saw a lady and
gentleman walking. He called loudly
to them to get out of the way, but
either they did not hear or his pace
was too great, and they did not move
aside.
As he rushed madly on, his little
kjoelke, before he knew what had hap
pened, whipped up the lady, and there
she was sitting in front of him. What
was his astonishment to find that he
was conveying an utter stranger down
the mountain-side at this breakneck
pace! lie was too busy and too breath
less to speak, and they sped away.
The lady knew that she must sit
quite still, and after the first shock she
tucked her feet away and remained in
quiet bewilderment until they reached
the bottom.
There they stood aghast. Each
bowed to the other. Each apologized,
the one for being in the way, the other
for bearing off a lady so unceremoni
ously. All reserve soon wore off, and
by the time the lady's brother arrived
he found them chatting and laughing,
the best of friends.
ASHAMED OF THEMSELVES.
The Quter Effect of Photoarraphlne; Upon
Some Siberians.
"I have witnessed a good many,
amusing incidents in the course of my
career," said a New York photographer,
the other day, "but I think the one
that struck me as the most ludicrous
occurred while I was in Siberia a few
years ago. I had my camera with me,
and spent considerable time in taking
pictures of the people and surrounding
country. I had engaged the services
of two native servants, and one day,
having nothing better to do, I induced
one of them to sit for his photograph.
The fellow had never seen a mirror in
his life, and I dare say had no concep
tion of the degree of ugliness exhibited
upon his countenance. At any rate he
manifested no delight at seeing his
picture, though his companion ap
peared very much elated, and could
not rest until I had taken his picture
also. When the latter sa w his picture
he also seemed depressed. The
portraits appeared to have brought to
the minds of both strange revelations,
and they retired to their tent in a
thoughtful mood, each trying to
smooth down the bushy locks which
crowned their heads. Presently one of
them came to mo and borrowed a pair
of scissors, and shortly after they re
turned with scarcely a vestige of hair
remaining on their heads and implored
me to take their pictures again. The
fruit of the camera was to them like
the fruit of the tree of knowledge."
; What He Wauled.
At the hospital ihe other morning,
says Life, one of the patients was just
recovering from an attack of delirium
tremens, and, as is usual in such cases,
desired to dress and go home more than
anything else. It happened that one
of the young ladies connected with the
flower mission saw him, and, approach
ing, said: "I have some beautiful roses
here. Wouldn't you like some?" No
response. Again she said: "Wouldn't
you like to have some of these roses?"
Slowly his head turned, and, slightly
opening his bleary eyes, he said, much
to the cmbar ssment of the young
woman: "I'd a blamed sight rather
have my pants."
SAVING TIMBER IN MISSISSIPPI.
Stringent State Laws for the Preservation
of Forest from l ltliutlon.
Timber depredations, according to
the New York Evening Post, have been
htopped practically in Mississippi by a
law which punishes offenders severely
There ore largo areas of forest land
there la-longing either to the I'nited
States government or to the state, nnd
the temptation to settler in remote
regions to enter upon them and
help them' elves to wood was often too
strong to l.e resisted. When driven
from fedi ral land by deputy United
States mr-r ,!iiilM, the timlter thieves
found r fi'"e in the state forests,
which were not ho well policed, and by
moving fri :u the one territory to the
other they contrived to escape arrest.
The federal oHIeers finally became so
vigilant that timlter stealing proved a
dangerous business, and the thieves
transferred all their operations to the
state lands. The legislature thereupon
passed the law referred to, and It hnr
in proved the morals of the people so
much that some districts which former
ly were the scene of wholesale depre

THE CHINESE LANGUAGE.
It la Not So Monosyllabio as Is
Commonly Supposed.
Nor Is It as Difficult to Learn as a Hear
ing of It Would Lead One to
lielieve The Slothod
of Study.
There are about sixty thousand char
acters in the Chinese language proper,
but the average Chinaman no more
learns all of these characters than the
everyday American learns the one
hundred thousand words in the Eng
lish language. The Chinaman, howev
er, learns on the average more than
does an American in a similar position
in life. A Chinaman who can neither
read nor write is a rarity, according to
the New York Evening Post. Chinese
is not a moncsyllabic language, as
many suppose, aud it is impossible to
utter in Chinese any but the shortest
Sv-ntences in monosyllables. In writing
the Chinaman makes one complicated
but integral character for each word,
but that word may be properly spoken
in two, three or four syllables. His
syllables are divided by no longer in
tervals than are his words, and that is
what makes the language sound to a
foreigner like a sing-song jargon. We
do not know whether lie is telling a
story or attempting a song. The Chi
nese perhpps thinks the sumo thing of
an American who bites off his words
and swallows them or telescopes one
into, the other, liusiness men thrown
in contact with Chinei-e merchants
who speak pure Chinese say that it is
not difficult to learn. Instead of
twenty-six letters, not including the
useless &, the Chinese have five hun
dred or six hundred syllables, and
these are combined into various forms
to make the sixty thousand words in
their "dictionary." These syllables
vary in meaning according to the tone
in which they are spoken or t lie stroke?
used in writing them.
A Chinaman can unite any two of
the six hundred syllables and make an
intelligent word. This is not the case
with the English language. This
flexibility is perhaps owing to the
shortness of their words (seldom more
than three syllables) and the tone oi
atretics belonging to the Kj'Uubles
when spoken or written. A syllable
may mean one of a hundred things,
and its particular meaning is limited
by placing another syllable of similnr
significance before or after it, using
its particular tone, or stroke when
writing. Sometimes the syllables are
uttered in such rapid succession that
they seemingly form one word, but the
trainect Chinese ear notes the tones,
and he is easily understood the
marvelous subtleties of accent convey
ing the expression to a nicety. lie
does not huve to state a proposition,
and then, in order to make himself
clear, restate it by the usual "or, in
other words." There are no "other
words" with the Chinese. The tone
gives the meaning. The Chinese have
a s: tern of two hundred and fourteen
radicals, having various strokes from
one to seventeen, which are combined
with the characters. Each radical has
a separate meaning, generally denot
ing the simplest object, as man, sky,
earth, water, king. The student first
leui.is these, which answer to the A II
('; he next studies the syllables, or
combinations, and thus he has learned
to read and sMdl. (irouping the
syllubles into words depends upon his
powers of speech or of composition in
writing. Whut is lHipularly known as
"slang" Is not known to the Chinese.
Their language is sufficiently copious
without resorting to the brutal forms
of speech. The most withering con
tempt or the keenest of satire may be
expressed in the politest terms.

Pkof Dolbear says electricity pos
sesses no virtue as such for the cure of
disease. It will make as bad ulcers as
it will heal and destroy life as compla
cently as strychnine or the guillotine.
It is not likely that earthquakes ever
result from electric disturbances, and
it has not yet been proved that they
ever give rise to any such, though when
large masses of reck are displaced, as
in Japan in 1S91, Blight local changes
in magnetic curves have rosulted.

PRACTIC

Institution
for tlio Train lug
of Jewish
Vnutli nt Ilimovcr.
A novelty in practical philanthropy
is described by W. C. Fox, formerly
consul to liruiifnviiik, Germany, who
has just returned to Washington.
"During my visit to Hanover," said
Mr. Fox in the course of a recent conver
sation with a St. I.oiiisli'.olie lleiiiocrHt
correspondent, "I examined an insti
tution for the training of Jewish
youth. Tho institution is something
entirely new. It has been established
by Alexander Aloritz Simon. Air.
Simon is tho American vice consul at
Hanover, where lie is also a prominent
banker. Those who have knowledge
of the situation in Russia and Germany
to-day fully understand thut one of the
chief causes of the unti-Somitie move
ments in tiiose countries is that the
jyvvs are
solely dealers and traders.
This is because children naturally ac
quire a taste for and follow tho occu
pation of tlieir parents and other rela
tives. "Mr. Simon told mo," continued Air.
Fox, "that in his visits to the United
States in !Hti:3 and 1MI0, he remarked
the distressing conditions of the Jew
ish Immigrants, arising mainly from
the fact that they were unable to per
form such work as they could obtain
from labor. Knowing no mechanical
trade, tiicy were of necessity driven to
puddling. Air. Simon, some time ago,
became convinced that if many of the
Jewish youth in Russia and Eastern
Persia were properly taught trades, it
would be the best answer to tho chief
argument of the anti-Semitic agitators.
Actuated by this belief, he founded
this institution. He has purchased
some seventy acres of hind near the
city of Hanover. The necessary build
ings have been erected .' o Hint sixty
boys can be ueeominoiluUd. 'l ho prime
object is to tench agriculture, garden
ing and fruit culture in all tlieir
branches. Carpentering, loeksmilhing,
hhoeintiking, baking and other trades
will be taught. The movement and
the inslitul ion have already received
the hearty indorsement and assistance
of prominent Israelites in Europe.
There is every evidence that the ex
periment will prove successful and pio
neer tho way for similur institutions in
other purts of Europe."
The emperor of Russia had up to a
short time ago a double in the person
f a banker of the name of Carlsben In
Copenhagen. Ciirlsbcn was introduced
some time ago to the ear, who himself
remarked the extraordiuury likeness.
This proved unfortunate for tho
'milker, who henceforth drove In a car
riage and four, and was only too
-ileased when he was taken for the em
peror of all tht Russius. As a result
